Method

For the baharat:
Mix all ingredients. Remainder will keep, sealed, for about six months.

For the beans:
Make a dressing of the garlic, lemon juice, verjuice, tahini, parsley and cumin seeds. (If the dressing seems too thick, add some water.) Warm the beans slightly (don't overheat as it dries out the dressing), mix with dressing, scatter pine nuts over and season.

For the mash:
Boil potatoes until tender and then puree. Add oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and reheat.

For the pork:
Dust lightly with baharat and grill. Serve with beans and mash.
